Good Morning!
For Group 2 members who have not seen this, yet...we have some exciting news! Ever wonder why certain plants do not thrive in your garden? Do you know if your soil is healthy and well balanced with organic nutrients that sequester inorganic fertilizer run off from your neighbor's lawn? Have a pesky pest and not know what to do? We have some expert friends who are planning on coming to our farm during farm share pick up July 30 to offer advice on burning questions you have on how to make your garden thrive. Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks!
As a friendly reminder, the farm will be off for break July 20-26. This will create a shift in the schedule and the next pick up for group 2 half share members will be August 6. Half shares are for members who pick up every other week. Full share members who pick up every week will have a break on July 23 but will resume pick ups on July 30.
Please email us at sollohubfamilyfarm@gmail.com if you have any questions or concerns.

Cheese from Four Fat Fowl- Award winning "St. Stephen." ***Again, we would like to take a moment to apologize for the lack of variety in cheese offerings. Four Fat Fowl is family owned and operated and sadly recently had a significant loss in the family which paused production. They subsequently suffered a production loss after they came back online. They hope to be back online in full force in the coming weeks. We appreciate your patience and understanding. Please keep the Four Fat Fowl family in your thoughts and prayers while they move past these challenges.**
These items will be available for pick up shares that pre-ordered with their farm share. They may be added on while supplies last.
Reynolds Family Farm and Groves Farm are providing farm fresh pasture-raised eggs that will also be available for add-on ($5/dozen).
If you are new to Sollohub Family Farm chicken, we'd like to share our blog post on how to maximize your chicken: https://www.sollohubfamilyfarm.com/recipes/how-to-maximize-a-whole-chicken. Please remember to cook low and slow. This will ensure that the pasture raised chicken has time to become tender.
Four Fat Fowl has shared this incredible recipe for St. Stephen Cherry Torte.
Thanks again, and see you soon!
